You think I'm taking no
for an answer?
182
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:50,107
Well, whether you take it
or not is irrelevant.
183
00:10:50,107 --> 00:10:51,484
I'm not changing my mind.
184

a chance to tell your truth?

00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:19,970
Excuse me. Nina?

Nina Kulikova?
191
00:11:25,976 --> 00:11:27,978
It is you.
192
00:11:27,978 --> 00:11:29,438
Uh...
193
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:32,733
I'll just be a minute, Leo.
194

at the Boyarsky now.

Yes.

collectivization project.

on Director Shalamov's orders.

It would seem that to compliment
another country's bread
248
00:14:12,017 --> 00:14:14,019
is to criticize Russian bread.
